Dr. Henning Jaques of 3Q|Law provided me with outstanding advice during the sale of my business shares to a large Hamburg-based conglomerate and the conclusion of various lease agreements for the commercial properties. His negotiating skills were particularly crucial to the success of the transaction, resulting in a purchase price that was significantly higher than initially hoped for. In addition, Dr. Jaques was able to secure an even better net purchase price for me through particularly creative proposals regarding purchase price allocation, etc. Anyone looking for a top M&A attorney for the sale of their company has absolutely come to the right place. Thank you very much and best regards!

Dr. Henning Jaques of 3Q|Law advised me and my co-partner as our M&A attorney during the sale of our medium-sized company through a bidding process. Resolving the shareholder conflict regarding the joint sale of the company through a special shareholder agreement—thereby making a joint sale possible in the first place—was both ingenious and effective: Thanks to Dr. Jaques’ creativity and leadership—including in his dealings with my co-seller’s law firm—and his strong negotiating skills, we were able to successfully bring the sale of the company to a successful conclusion. 3Q|Law, with Dr. Jaques’ wealth of experience, comes highly recommended for both the sale and purchase of mid-sized companies. Thank you again!

As a lawyer, tax advisor, and certified public accountant, I primarily serve medium-sized companies, local governments, associations, and high-net-worth private clients. In a shareholder dispute that we had to take all the way to the Federal Court of Justice (BGH), I was represented in court by Dr. Jaques of 3Q|Law.
As a “Lawyer for Lawyers,” Dr. Jaques of 3Q|Law combines corporate and litigation law with great assertiveness and exceptional tactical skill. All proceedings and negotiations conducted before the Regional Court, Higher Regional Court, and Federal Court of Justice were characterized by exceptionally high legal competence and a keen sense for setting the right course.
A top lawyer for corporate law, corporate disputes, and conflict resolution—a clear recommendation!

Dr. Henning Jaques' presentation on disclosure obligations, imputation of knowledge and fraudulent intent in real estate transactions and M&A was - once again - extremely enlightening and entertaining. Dr. Jaques' numerous practical and structuring tips for M&A and transaction practice are an expression of the enormous scientific penetration of this subject area. His "Beck'sches Handbuch Unternehmenskauf im Mittelstand" can therefore be warmly recommended to anyone working in M&A consulting and the transaction business - whether as a lawyer or tax advisor. Many thanks for the great presentation!

We have had a long-established family business for generations with over 500 permanent employees today, and Dr. Henning Jaques from 3Q|Law has been advising us for decades on all aspects of company succession from the 2nd generation to the 3rd generation. Starting with the conversion into the best possible legal form for our purposes recommended by Dr. Jaques, through the various articles of association, the restructuring of the company's real estate assets, the necessary matrimonial and inheritance agreements to the contracts of 3Q|Law for anticipated succession, we were able to pass on the shares to the next generation in the best possible way and at the same time provide for the transferors appropriately. Dr. Henning Jaques of 3Q|Law comprehensively structured and drafted these complex projects with the necessary contracts, above all in a very tax-optimized manner, and accompanied them through to signing and notarization. 3Q|Law's comprehensive and particularly creative advice has not only put our company on a solid long-term footing, but has also helped to significantly reduce the tax burden and other liquidity risks arising from compulsory portion claims. With the outstanding expertise of Dr. Jaques, 3Q|Law is the best law firm for corporate succession for us. Many thanks for that!

This is the sixth time we have been able to win Dr. Henning Jaques from 3Q|Law as a speaker for our HAV lunch round - this time on the topic of "Duty of disclosure, attribution of knowledge and fraudulent intent in real estate transactions and M&A".

On behalf of SS&C Intralinks, a leading provider of virtual data rooms, I took part in the Schweitzer/HAV-Mittagsrunde lecture event with the speaker Dr. Jaques from 3Q|Law. The topic "Duty of disclosure, imputation of knowledge and fraudulent intent in real estate transactions and M&A" is of course also of immense importance to us with regard to the technical and organizational implementation of a professional data room. With his outstanding technical expertise, Dr. Henning Jaques presented numerous topics that are particularly important for an M&A transaction and due diligence in such a clear way that we at Intralinks were able to benefit considerably from them in practice. Of particular interest in this respect were the numerous tips on structuring and action relating to the topics of disclosure obligations, imputation of knowledge and fraudulent intent - and now also in relation to the use of AI tools. In my view, Dr. Henning Jaques is an extremely experienced practitioner with a considerable scientific foundation, which is of immense added value in the M&A industry. Thank you very much for the great presentation!

In the sale of my clinical research company to a US private equity fund, Dr. Jaques from 3Q|Law (lead), together with other corporate finance and tax experts and a US partner law firm of 3Q|Law, provided me and my co-shareholder with excellent advice. The extremely professionally negotiated letter of intent, in which Dr. Jaques set the course for the rest of the deal, the advice in connection with the buyer's due diligence reviews and the creative drafting of the purchase agreement and ancillary agreements were decisive for the success of the transaction. I therefore give 5 stars to this first-class M&A law firm with outstanding legal expertise for the sale of a medium-sized company to an international PE buyer.

As a lawyer specializing in corporate succession and the sale of family-owned companies, I regularly use the "Beck'sches Handbuch Unternehmenskauf im Mittelstand" (Beck's Handbook on the Acquisition of SMEs) published by Dr. Henning Jaques of 3Q|Law - for me, it is the outstanding handbook in which decades of practical knowledge are paired with academic depth and excellent structuring tips. I have also experienced Dr. Henning Jaques as a speaker at the annual conference of the Institute for Inheritance Law with his well-founded presentation on company acquisitions in the SME sector. In it, he highlighted numerous pitfalls in corporate transactions that I encounter in my daily work as an M&A practitioner. His thoughts on the sale of a company as a succession solution and liability risks for management have inspired me greatly for my own work. With his decades of experience and legal expertise, Dr. Jaques is for me one of the top lawyers for M&A and private equity in Germany and a first-class speaker. Many thanks for that!
